The change was intentional:

http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg00596.html

The ways to "fix" this are:

1) mount -x x:/wheerever/blah/sh.exe /bin/sh

2) cp x:/whereever/blah/sh.exe /bin/sh

3) make SHELL=/cygdrive/x/whereever/blah/sh.exe

4) (echo "SHELL=/cygdrive/x/whereever/blah/sh.exe"; cat Makefile) > m
   mv m Makefile

5) Grab the source for make and change it to do whatever you want.
